Organized biennially, the 41st ICMM World Congress on Military Medicine in Bali encompasses sectors such as Military Medicine, Emergency Military Medicine, Healthcare, Military, Medical and Defense.
Delegates from 98 countries comprising top military officials and military doctors were present in the congress.
A transfer of ICMM leadership from Head of the Saudi Arabian Health Center Major General Ghaleb Huraib to Surgeon General of the Indonesia Defense Force Major General TNI Daniel Tjen, MD, took place before Vice President Kalla inaugurated the congress.
During his opening speech, Vice President Kalla voiced his complete support to the world congress on military medicine to discuss their role in addressing global conflicts and disasters.
"As the chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), I have a lot of experience with military doctors in addressing disasters. When a devastating tsunami hit Aceh in December 2004, military doctors from more than 50 countries came to Aceh," Kalla pointed out.
Topics of interest to be discussed during the congress will comprise health aspects related to protecting the health of armed forces personnel, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, handling chemical-biological-radiological and nuclear disasters, emerging infectious diseases and re-emerging diseases in specific military population, environmental and preventive medicines, emergency management of battlefield injuries, military health education and training, and military health promotion and rehabilitation.
